DHG growth:

Happy shrimps

Tank shot from above:

Are these PFR or just regular RCS? LFS sold to me as RCS but they're super red

There were 2 deaths but water parameters tested out ok. Hopefully the berried RCS will replenish the population.

some stems like rotala could also hide it.

If you put a black background (ie. black paper), then the filter will look much less substantial.

Couldn't keep the Staurogyne repens planted in the substrate so I stuck it in the little crack on the driftwood.
(There's also a nice stream of bubble coming up from the anubias leaf!)

Also Tank progress after 3 weeks:

Starting to see some algaes in there, so many it's time for some snails or maybe a small algae eater .. hope the DHG don't get uprooted

Staurogyne repens will look nice in there.
